Bella’s cast had been stinking – I mean from two rooms away stinking!!

Last Sunday we took Bella to the ER – they told us her cast was contaminated and to go to the doctor the next day. Monday we went to the doctor. They were not happy with the ER. That cast came off and we headed downtown. Her incision had dehissed – completely opened up – and it was very, very infected. She had emergency surgery for irrigation and debridement. We don’t know what this means for her knee. We will just have to wait and see. Infectious disease is now involved with our care. They are treating her as if she had a bone infection. We move forward. After a rough night of high heart rates and low oxygen stats, I did a lot of quick talking and got us home for the holidays. She just really hates being in the hospital. (Heart rates should not be in the 150s when you have that much pain med on board!)

Bella spent her Thanksgiving in my bed, but at least she was home!

Saturday we got to see our old PT from Houston. She was driving through, so we meet up for breakfast. So nice to see her and her family!

Have I mentioned how much I love the Bella and Joy’s teachers? They are some wonderful women who love my babies! So I love them! They have been taking pictures of the school year so far – so fun to see a glimpse into their school world!

Well, maybe I’m too close to see you clearlyOr is it now my role to simply believe?You’re just one of those mysteriesThat may never be solved in timeBut you do — you do — you shine

And Sammy will do what Sammy will do when Sammy is ready to do itAnd Trevor will do what Trevor will do when Trevor is ready to do itAnd Lucy will do what Lucy will do when Lucy is ready to do itAnd they’ll do it in their own time
